Personally I have somehow always retained optimism, every season we start joint top ( and bottom ) - I actually believed in this years recruitment & expected good improvement.................how little did I know ?
Think I am just tired of this emotional journey, constantly raising expectations with another new start, only for it all to go horribly wrong - this season has set new levels for that though.

The constant churn of players hasn't made any difference so far, Tex Hoy, Darnell, Jack Brown & Fanua all gone - replaced by Tom Briscoe, Aydin plus a couple of loanees. Not to mention the 10 or so seasoned professionals that lefty last year & we all know how their replacements worked out.

Of course we now have investment which was sorely needed & Yes, the new management have a hell of a job on.

Adam Doueihi ? Best player at the Tigers until he ruptured his ACL - only way he leaves Australia is if he is crocked & some dumb club takes a punt. He was on NRL360 this week - expects to be back in a month, suspect he was the Tigers highest paid player when injured - sure he will start next year on a very decent contract ( assuming knee sorted ).

It's not the first time Adam Doueihi has done his ACL either. I think this is his third time and still only 25 , Good player though .

He can put a bomb up alright.
Lethal boot.

Adam Doueihi is an excellent player, but far too much of a risk.

Ref Abdul I don't think he is a kr fan but his ex bird and her family were massive rovers so all they wanted was Abdul at their club. Then she started shagging Danny Maguire and it all went sour. Fair old bit of motivation for Abdul to come back to Hull and help make us the dominant club again imo

HDM now reporting he's been offered to Super League. You just know that if we sign him, he's getting a fourth ACL injury but if he signs with someone else he'll be injury free.

Didn't read it in The Sun so I don't believe it.

Too risky and a bit of a utility, probably best position is 6.

Not sure where he would fit in.

It's not so much his injury record that bothers me but ours. We've got a very poor track record at the moment which is where I find it risky. If it was just on his record alone I would absolutely go for it because the talent is clearly there. But until we improve things at our end this just feels like it would end in heartbreak if we were the ones to sign him.

Two yellow cards this season, he'll fit right in!

Seems underwhelming for a billionaire. Should have signed Butterworth from Rovers a far better player.
